One of Matt McCormick’s primary opponents attempted a mail-smear campaign targeting Republican voters recently downriver. This opponent, who is a manager at Walgreens and has no life experience to speak of is obviously grasping at straws to try and bring the race for the 23rd District State House of Representatives in Michigan down into the muck.
 Republicans Sling Mud Too The letter alleges that McCormick was behind a recent rash of Tea Party Robo-Calls questioning this youngster’s voting record. McCormick of course denied any responsibility for the calls and evidence uncovered by the Mackinac Center for Public Policy indicates that Democrats have been behind the bogus Tea-Party Activity.
The choice in the 23rd remains clear. Matt McCormick is the most qualified and experienced candidate in the race and is in the best position to beat the Progressive incumbent. These smear tactics, lies and prevarications by a uninformed and inexperienced opponent will not matter in the race. It only serves to expose the neophyte opponent to McCormick as petty, mean, and way, way, behind.

Thanks everybody for reading. This site is becoming more and more widely read. I am humbled by your support and interest.

 Josh McCormick and Aaron McCormick Take the Field in August!
The Southwest Side of Detroit is a changing area. I do business with folks all over the city of Detroit, but one of my absolute favorite areas is the Southwest Side. Mexicantown sits there like a small oasis of great food and frivolity. Xochimilco, Mexican Gardens and the Tortilla Factory are all worth a visit. Xochi’s has become a regular spot for my gang of misfits (A Mexican, 2 Italians, a German guy, 1 Greek, 2 Scots and a couple of Canadians). We go to the St. Patrick’s Day Parade every year in Corktown (West-Central Side) and we make our way to this great Mexicantown hangout.
So, as I was driving through the Southwest Side to hit a couple of contracting companies that I take care of over there and I see a Hispanic couple standing outside the local Planned Parenthood office. They weren’t just standing there either. They were standing about 3 feet from the front door of the baby-killing factory and were peering in the windows, holding a couple signs. Far be it from me to be shy, so I pulled over and went and talked to them.
This great couple are both first-generation Americans from Mexico. They are devout Catholics. They said that they couldn’t do this kind of protest in Mexico and that they love this country and that they love life. They are fighting a battle we all need to be fighting, that is to preserve hope and potential for the unborn. They have kids who are also LEGALLY here. These two great Americans remind me what it means to be free.
We have a responsibility under the first amendment to the constitution to Live, to Speak, to Worship, to Assemble, and to Redress Grievances to our elected officials. I was reminded again that these 1st amendment rights aren’t just rights. They are our charge, our calling, and our duty as Americans. We cannot close our eyes to what is going on around us in any area of our society, particularly abortion. Too many young girls, mistake made, are sentenced to a life of “what if”s and pain and guilt and regret. We forget the impact that abortion has on those impressionable and in many cases, victimized girls.
If these two great Americans save just one life they are sainted. They have such courage and such boldness that it makes me ashamed that I haven’t done more. The immigrant mentality is a factor in the greatness of America. The Irish, Italians, Russians, Greeks, Scots, Jordanians, Lebanese, Mexicans, Indians, Macedonians and people from every other country in the world come here and realize they can live how they like. They can build whatever kind of life they want. Why, then, is it any different for the rest of us?
No, the people who make this country great are those who are willing to step up, take risks, work their butts off and chase their dreams. The entitlement mentality that comes along with ILLEGAL immigration is destroying our work ethic. Free school, free drugs, free healthcare, free food, free housing, free cars, free Xbox, whatever, saps the work ethic right out of people here legally and illegally. Entitlement and government mandated welfare-slavery is killing a whole generation of people in the city of Detroit.
Take a lesson, as I did, from these spiritually alive people in the Southwest Side. Never give up. Never go along to get along. Never forget your roots. Never forget what’s important. Never rely on others to do your duty for you. Never compromise what is truly important: Life.
 Sheriff Mike Bouchard with Matt McCormick: Candidates with a Mission The candidate video produced by the News Herald Newspapers is a great contrast in style, substance and integrity. Watch the McCormick video first. Then have fun watching all the opponents. There is no comparison.

Where to start? I was taken prisoner by a left-wing environmentalist group who’d heard I could stop the leak in the Gulf of Mexico. I explained that while I could stop the leak myself, I chose to let Obama do it. When they heard that, they let me go, and so here I am.

The Tigers just got robbed. Kill the umpire.
Dwayne Wade, Lebron James, Stoudemire, Larry Bird and Spud Webb are having a free-agent summit. The players, all in a union, are collective, collective bargaining I guess. Real small union.
Uh, lets see, Oh Yeah! How about Obama’s corrupt administration that continues to break the law every hour of every day. That doesn’t matter I guess.
Talk to you soon,

This new texting & driving law with a $100 fine is an issue with me, but it’s the popular thing right now. If they are worried about distracted drivers, then why not take ALL forms of entertainment (radios, DVD players, etc) out of cars? And, they’d better take the kids out of the car too because they sure are a distraction while driving! While we are at it lets remove all passengers since you cannot talk to someone in your car and focus on the road ahead!
Also, Giant electronic billboards that light up brightly along the freeway are a distraction, so take down all forms of advertising, because those take our eyes off the road as well. Construction areas are distracting and are extremely dangerous too, we probably should stop fixing the roads. Come to think of it, pretty much everything you do while behind the wheel is a distraction! So instead of banning cell phones, why don’t we just improve our driver’s training courses?
The state, in it’s infinite wisdom, has started putting up these electronic billboards along interstates where they can broadcast messages to drivers like, “Click it or Ticket” and “You drink, You drive, You lose”, but my favorite is: ”AVOID DISTRACTIONS WHILE DRIVING”. You have to look away from the road, while on a 70mph freeway, to read a sign that says avoid distractions! Is this the epitome of irony or what?
This is the same idiotic left-wing liberal socialism that says guns kill people, lets take away all the guns! You know what, the average person is so stupid, we should just make cars that drive and park themselves, because after 100 years of driving people just cant handle it. Oh wait, they already make those.
Distractedly Yours,
EastSide Conservative
Writing this blog has never been work. I just realized this yesterday when I was going door to door in the 23rd with Matt McCormick, who is running for Michigan’s 23rd House Seat. Talking to people can sap your strength except in the case of most of the people we met.
 Rest is BEST! Generally the response to the opening salvo of “I want to limit government and reduce the pay of State Representatives.” is answered by, “Thank God. Somebody has to do it.” So, the road-trip yesterday into the district was a fully complimented choir of songbirds reading from the same music. Young, old, rich, poor, middle-class, white-collar, blue-collar, black and white. A remarkable day of affirmation for our candidate.
So, on this Sabbath day I will do no work. I will instead indulge something that reminds me of God today. I will instead remember this day to keep it Holy. It is imperative that we all do so that we can, too, rest. God took a break from work, and, well, He’s God. All the better for all of us to do the same.
Remember tomorrow is another day of work, but forget about it. Today will only be here until then. Today is fleeing away and if you don’t grab it we all may be only grasping for tomorrows that don’t exist. Rest today. Tomorrow is work.

I’m giving another endorsement. I have to speak to you all about Steve Mobley, a patriot, who is running for 62nd District State Rep. here in Michigan.
I’ve known Steve now for about a year and I met him at the first ever Tea Party Convention in Holt back in 2009. Steve then was running against Mike Nofs for State Sentate as an Independent. Steve put up a great fight as a conservative alternative to Senator Nofs.
Now it’s time to support Steve as he takes on liberals and crushes them as the bugs they are in this race for the State House. Steve is extremely well versed in the history and ideals of the United States of America and he believes in the principles of self-determination and personal responsibility. Mr. Mobley will make a great Representative and if you live in the 62nd be sure to vote for him on August 3rd in the Republican primary.
 Steve Mobley - Patriot Check out more info on Steve Mobley and his campaign at his website. Thanks everybody.
Good Luck to Steve.
Mac
